Writing for NME, Nick Levine reviewed the song by saying: "Sheeran and Eminem collaborated effectively enough on their 2017 hit "River", but this cheesy throwback jam (which features 50 Cent for added retro vibes) almost feels like a parody. "Yeah, I was born a misfit grew up ten miles from the town of Ipswich", Sheeran raps at the start, sounding as though he's recruited David Brent to ghost-write his rhymes. There's also an unappealing chippiness to proceedings as Sheeran pouts: "And if you thought I was good, well, then I'm better today, but it's ironic how you people thought I'd never be great". Clangers like this are part of the problem, sadly".[1]
